CHRISTMAS LETTERS, GO.

[halfcocked]

[this lovely winter evening, you might be drawn to the glow of garish pink Christmas lights twined through the . . . stalks . . . of what is obviously some corn trying very hard to be a Christmas tree. it's even wearing a cheap piney cologne. how desperate is that, seriously

To Rikuou: a large flat thing roughly wrapped.
It's a canvas, a painting of a nighttime cityscape from a slight distance. Written on the back in pencil:

Rikuou, this is what Ilegenes looks like from my favourite spot. Isn't it lovely? I hope you like it! --JS :)

[LOOKING SERIOUSLY FUCKING CONFLICTED but he's taking the painting]

[doctorquincy]

. . . Rikuou?

[u_jerk]

.... it's from Es.

He's not dead.

[ two packages!

For Meguro Gau: a very large and elaborate flower arrangement; it smells wonderful.
I'm sorry we couldn't spend more time together.

For Hikyou Banchou and Niche: really fancy bottles of hair shampoo and mango-scented soap.
You're going to need these. ]

[moralfixation]

Aa...me too. *Pockets the note then takes the flowers to the tea house*

[ofcygnus]

[ PACKAGESSSS

For Nogami Ryoutarou and Nogami Airi: LOTS AND LOTS OF SWEETS AND CHOCOLATE AND SNACKS and warm sweaters and scarves and boy these siblings sure are spoiled!
Please take care of yourselves! Yuuto is worried, too, but the timestream works in mysterious ways. It'll be okay. I miss you!

For ZEX: also lots of sweets and an ENTIRE CAKE and also a very, very long scarf, obviously made to be wrapped in amongst tentacles.
I hope you're doing well. You taught me a lot!

For anyone who wants some: MELON CANDYCANES!
Merry Christmas! ]

to Momiji:

[a collection of violin sheetmusic by Baltic composers, a big box of Christmas tree-shaped bunny treats, and burgundy peacoat with a small Latvian coat-of-arms stitched by the lapel- it fits well, and is quite warm]

Dear Momiji,

I hope you, Aija, and your other bunnies are well this season. The wweather has been nice here recently, itt did not go below freezing today. Winter is still cold unless Camp has made it summer there sso I am sending this coat. It should fit, I told themm to make it too big for me.

Priecīgus Ziemassvētkus un laimīgu Jauno gadu,
Raivis

to Luffy:

[a giant chunk of headcheese, a couple hams, a dozen boxes of pīrāgi, and a quilted vest]

Dear Luffy,

Please do not eat everything all at once!!! I cann only send you things once a year, so please try to make it last. Tthe wool in the vest came from my brother's sheep, it sshould be very warm if you wear it.

Merry Christmas,
the Republic of Revise

[hoppy_ending]

*Laughs happily, pulling on the peacoat*

Ehe, I'll have to wear it when I visit~

[wingsinthedust]

[an envelope with a wax seal on it and some lumps of things inside]

Dear Prince Thor

[pas_de_duck]

[there are places where the writing is not as steady as it might be, as if the hand holding the pen had been nudged along a bit. there's also a little packet sealed with an inky webbed-foot-print. it's filled with a handful of dried and pressed water-weeds and marigolds]

[say_thee_nay]

[It takes him time to get through the letter--and then more time still to reread it, for he pauses regularly to dab at his eyes.]

Until that time, my friends. Be well.

[And after a moment more he turns, glancing upward.]

All-Father, turn thine eye towards these folk--my companions, my comrades, my friends. They have done deeds of great valor, sacrificing much for the sake of their Realm. Such efforts should not go unrewarded. Shelter them whilst I linger here, and think on my request, I pray thee.

... additionally, Father, I would suggest thou not rely upon Huginn and Muninn for this surveillance, shouldst thou pursue it. Thy loyal vassals, true, but ravens still. Best they not take wing.
